Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan Team Up for New Album Hawk

Former Belle and Sebastian member Isobel Campbell and former Screaming Trees frontman/Queens of the Stone Age collaborator/Gutter Twins member Mark Lanegan might've seemed like an odd couple at first. But by now, they've released two collaborative albums of elegantly debauched Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood-esque torch songs, 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas and 2008's Sunday at Devil Dirt, and they sound perfectly natural next to each other.

Lanegan sings on eight of the album's 13 songs, and singer-songwriter Willy Mason also guests on two. Former Smashing Pumpkin James Iha plays guitar on "You Won't Let Me Down Again". The album features covers of two Townes Van Zandt songs, "No Place to Fall" and "Snake Song". You can click here to stream one of the album's tracks, "Come Undone".

Campbell and Lanegan will play the Barbican in London on September 10 and Belle and Sebastian's Bowlie 2 ATP in Minehead, England in December. There's also a U.S. tour planned, though none of those dates have been announced yet. Hawk tracklist below.
